I find it impossible for her to have been injured if she was the only one on the train to have an alleged injury.

^ Do you have the link? Great move. Let's drink, bring a gun to an event that is not dangerous (at least till he pulled the gun), and completely overreact. Given his position, and the responsibilities that go with it, he should be handed termination papers. Another link: http://www.wbaltv.com/news/21430106/detail.html

Those magnets are not adjustable unless they are removed. Chances are, the track was damp/ wet which made the train faster and you didn't notice the magnets as much.

^ Oh, so they learned from their mistake. Isn't that what we are looking for?

"If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves." - Emily Dickinson "Don't sweat the small stuff"- Richard Carlson I am not quite sure what you mean. According to this thread, it was announced on the website that KI was going to be closed down due to weather: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19949

They removed the magnets? Intresting...

Saturdays during Halloweekends are actually busier than most Saturdays in July and August. It is nuts. Now Sundays during Halloweekends, that is the time to go, with the exception of Columbus Day weekend.

Who besides a KI fanatic is really going to notice wrong pictures or vague descriptions? Minor web site innaccuracies will not take away from the overall park experience. Now the radio ad and URL, that does need to be taken care of. Why not leave the shows on the site so when people visit the site in the off-season, they understand that the park does have shows?

I suggest that the park just open the doors and let everyone in for free, that way they can't squeeze anyone anymore. The lines will be unbearable, and we won't be able to enjoy it like we do now. But hey, it will be free! Nope. No sarcasm here.

^ Not necessarily. Settling out of court does not admit any type of guilt. And once a case is settled, it cannot be re-filed. And in this particular case, KI did not deny her injury; they questioned the severity of it. So to answer your question, no, the outcome of this case will not have bering on future cases.

I would think the biggest reason to wait would be money. Deconstruction costs will not be small, and I highly doubt CF has that cost in their 2010 budget.

Your timeline is incorrect. PKI sued back in November of 2000, after SoB's initial season, not prior to SoB's opening. http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2000/11/2...sland_sues.html

They said they'd make a decision after the season's out, but that still doesn't mean any kind of announcement's coming soon. It's very unlikely you'll hear anything until AT LEAST the start of the new year. ^ You are right. The park has ZERO motivation to announce any decision on SoB right now. Why? Because why drum up more attention on SoB than it has already received in the last week due to the lawsuit and settlement? I would say news on SoB will be non-existant till close to opening day 2010.

^ I have always LOVED this one.

Now that the move has officially been announced, I wonder what the lines will be like this weekend? Because we all know what a real "people mover" DD is. I can remember when DD was rather new and waiting in lines of almost 2 hours.

Currently, Demon Drop at Cedar Point, Torre do Terror, at Beto Carrero World, Brazil, Hollywood Tower, at Movie Studios Park, Italy, and those at Toshimean and Central Park in Japan are the only remaining Intamin first generation Freefall rides in operation that I know of. Anyone else have more info? As far as that area being used for a wood coaster, it would look great there. But, CP has had issues with their neighbors (those $1,000,000+ homes north of the parking lot) complaining about the noise in years' past. The noise complaints go back as far as Avalanche Run. I hope that would not have an influence on their decision.

So because of some bad press/ bad decisions they should disclose future plans? When I was in business, I learned that no matter how hard you try, you cannot please everyone.

So you don't believe everything you here in an advertisment? That is called step one. Step two is weeding out the bullcrap from the truth.

From what I can find, DD was listed for sale mid August, 2005.

Why do you believe that moving DD is the start of a rotation program?

What's wrong with Operacion Repo?

Is it so hard to acknowledge she was actually injured? And not in an isolated incident, but in an accident that injured over 20 others as well. This isn't the normal "I slipped on your sidewalk and am going to sue for millions" type of case. I am astonished that you can claim all she has is a bum hip? You are not a doctor, nor were you in the courtroom to hear/ see all the evidence. If her claim was meritless, the jury would have seen through it. KI had an attorney, just like she did, to discount her story. I am sorry that your father has physical issues, but why even bring that up? Normal wear and tear on a person's body cannot be compared to suffering an injury that could not have been prevented by the victim. It really sounds as if you are taking the SoB accident personal due to your father's condition. I've done the same thing when I have emotional ties to an incident, everyone has. And how can you "almost guarantee" she is going to blow the money? Do you know her on a personal level? And even if she does blow the money, the only person she hurts is herself in the long run. And do you actually believe that KI would end up settling without a guarantee that she cannot come back after them?
